Introduction I was born and raised in the mountains of Salt Lake City, Utah - where I developed a love for all forms of wilderness. I studied Physics and Chinese at the University of Utah, Intellectual Property Law at Santa Clara University in Silicon Valley, CA, and I work as a Patent Examiner in Radiant Energy (radiation detectors, CT/PET scanners, etc.) in Alexandria, VA.
